Ulster Caretaker Coach Steve Williams has added Mark Bartholomeusz and Paul Steinmetz in a 24-man squad for his side's final pool game against Gloucester in the Heineken Cup on Sunday.

Rory Best is not included even though he has been named in the Ireland squad for the Six Nations.

He has just returned to pitch work this week as part of his recovery following spraining his ankle against Leinster on St Stephen's Day.

Williams will name his team later in the week.
